When should I get his 1st walking shoes?
When he is full out walking or now while he is just holding on and walking

I plan on getting her "real walkers" when she is full out walking and really good at it. When she beats up her pedipeds and needs a harder bottom.
I really believe in barefoot is best.

Full walking. Right now he is just cruising still. Barefoot is best. Even months later we still keep her out of shoes inside.

Re: When should I get his 1st walking shoes?
He's now walking so we got DS his first pair last week. He has super fat feet so he's never had a single thing on his feet other than socks up till now. He really doesn't like them (yet, hopefully he will eventually) and I still keep him barefoot in the house.

Thanks everyone!
Andrew has really fat feet too. Did you have to get special shoes for him?

Re: When should I get his 1st walking shoes?
when he starts walking you should take him to stride rite they have walker shoes and they have for wide feet. olivia has a wide foot. actually stride rite has 3 step shoes, crawlers, cruisers and walkers. i got olivia the cruisers, they look like a sneaker an it helped to transition her to a walking shoe. i know stride rite outlet out east had their shoes for 1/2 of what the mall charges. good luck.

They're Stride Rite extra wides.
ETA: Stride Rite also has an outlet in New Hyde Park too. If I was closer, I would have gone there. I wanted to just go get his foot measured and then look on ebay for some brand new ones but I was afraid I'd buy them and then that particular shoe wouldnt fit right. $45 later...he has his first shoes from the local SR. At least with boys you can get away with one pair. Maybe some sandals in the summer too. Girls...My DD has 10 pairs at any given time (NOT all SR @ $45/pair!!)

You don't need to get him proper walking shoes until 6 weeks after he starts to walk properly.
